8/21 ME BP

Drove an hour and a half to get to a gym while on vacation.

1. Clean and Press: 135x3x3, 155x1, 175x1, 185x3xMiss Could not turn it over to rack it, high pulled it with ease. This was all I could think of to do, as there was not a rack, nor a dependable looking spotter. I should have done DB Floor Press!

2. Dips: 25x4x5 Might as well go ahead and finish destroying my shoulders while I was at it.

3. Tate Press: 40'sx4x10

4. T-Bar Rows: 100x2x10, 125x2x10

5. Shrugs: 225x10, 275x4x5 Could not hang onto the bar, even with staps, as the knurling was almost gone from the bar! NO CHALK, then how about a decent bar?

6. Roman Chair Russian Twist's: 25x4x10

50 Minutes

8/24 DE SQ

Skipped a return to the same gym, as it was too far to drive, so I waited an extra day and did my training when I arrived home. So...

1. Box Squats with a Average Band: 185x4x2, 235x4x2 Great Speed! I need to figure out a way to drive 3.5 hours to my regular DE SQ training session!

2. Wide Lo Box Squats (12.5 inch box, feet about 4" past the plates); 135x4x5 Never felt heavy, but it hammered the hell out of my hips! That is about 2" below my dynamic depth, which is about 0.5" below paralell.

3. Glute Hams: 4x12 With bench raise 4"

4. Pull-Thru's: 140x4x12 with straight legs

45 Minutes

sounds good..

one question thogh. you said for the wide box squats it was 2 inches below dynamic depth and that was .5" below parallel. Why are you squatting on a box 1.5 inches above parallel. Shouldnt it be below paralell.

I may be wrong in my thinking here(which i probably am), im just looking for your reasoning behind it.

I was 2.5" below paralell.
